Suggested sequence

  1. Review 20–30 Teacher vacancies and record actual tasks, mandatory requirements and tools.
  2. Define the bridge from School Activities Coordinator: knowledge of the sector, terminology and typical work situations. Prepare two examples where this experience produced a measurable result.
  3. Learn AI-content validation and learning analytics to the level of completing an independent practical task—not merely finishing a course.
  4. Design a learning module with an objective, lesson, materials, assessment and an example of personal feedback.
  5. Review 20–30 vacancies and choose only courses or certificates that repeatedly appear in employer requirements.
  6. Rewrite your résumé for Teacher, add the case and begin with test applications, internships, projects or adjacent tasks at your current employer.
Timeline and pay are indicative. They depend on starting skills, location, experience, weekly study time and employer requirements.
